Good point.  And Arch and BitKeeper, I believe, do sometimes work
based on the dag and sometimes on the set, which can give inconsistent
results.  Arch will show you the revisions which are merged (which is
the most-commonly requested point), but I believe won't take them into
account in doing text merges (which is a close second).

The obvious step might be for us to do the same, but maybe we can do better.
